Avs Accomplishments
The Avalanche enters Tuesday's game with an 11-game point streak. The team has not lost in regulation since Nov. 9, and the 9-0-2 mark is Colorado's best stretch it has posted since a 12-game run (10-0-2) from Feb. 27 to Mar. 25, 2007. The Avs' point streak is also accompanied by a six-game win stretch on the road, the longest since Oct. 8 to Nov. 1, 2013. In addition, Mikko Rantanen is on an eight-game point streak after registering four goals and 12 assists since Nov. 18. Seven of the forward's eight games included multi-point performances, which brings his season total to 15 multi-point nights in 27 outings. With 45 points and 34 assists in the 2018-19 campaign, Rantanen is first in the league in both categories.
Against The East
The Avalanche holds a 9-2-2 record against the Eastern Conference so far this year. This is the second season series that the Avs will finish against an Eastern team after sweeping its set with the Philadelphia Flyers (2-0-0) on Oct. 6 and 22. Colorado will meet each team from the opposing conference twice this season. The Avs also have a league-leading 22 points after 16 road games this campaign (10-4-2).
Top Notch
Colorado's top line of Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog continues to perform with each member of the threesome registering points on both goals in Sunday's win at Detroit. Of the Avalanche's 99 total tallies this season, 16 have included all three members of the top trio. At least two forwards from the line have been involved in 46 markers to date and 56.6 percent of all Avalanche goals have received contributions from at least one player of the group. The teammates' combined 118 points (46 goals, 72 assists) in 27 games are the most of any trio in the league.
